My memory is fuzzy but I believe droplet launch problems would be caused by
the same issue as the runtime problem. In both cases the 'oapp' event is
getting lost somewhere.

Chris will (obviously) have to make the call on this. The patch works but is
extremely inelegant and it would be better to find out where the 'oapp' is
going. Another option would be change the launch mechanism for runtimes in
general to not rely on 'oapp'. This would have the added benefit of possibly
allowing DoScript ARGV to be passed to runtime applications (right now the
launch mechanism makes DoScript or standalone operation an either/or
proposition). I tried to unwind this in my original testing but it couldn't
be done cleanly in the current event mechanism.
Chris, if you decide to go with the patch and the patch is no longer in the
SourceForge bug DB let me know and I will regenerate it.
